We start this wonderful Costa Rica vacation package visiting Tortuguero. Tortuguero National Park Costa Rica is one of the most visited National Parks in Costa Rica. Its network of canals, dense rainforests and many other attractions are visited by thousands of tourists every year. Rainforest, lagoons, canals, wildlife and ocean are few of its attractions.

Continue to Puerto Viejo. Puerto Viejo is the largest tourist destination in Costa Rica's small Caribbean coast. The Southern Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica is truly a wonderful place to visit with its laidback environs, spicy piquant food, and unique Afro-Caribbean culture. Then to Arenal with its spectacular volcano which almost on a daily basis, red-hot rocks crash down its steep slopes and volcanic grumbles produce huge ash columns above the crater. Spend a few days in Monteverde. The spectacular Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve is a very important and popular ecotourism destination in Costa Rica. With its unique cloud canopy, this biological reserve is located in Puntarenas province. The Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve is one of the most stunning and breathtaking nature reserves in the entire world. Finally you get to visit Manuel Antonio Manuel Antonio National Park so popular because of its amazing white sand beaches backed by an evergreen forest that grows right up to the high tide line. There's magic to Manuel Antonio that is hard to explain. One thing, however, is absolutely certain: once you've been here you'll want to come back again.
